Actor couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha in November 2022, and she quickly became a fan favorite after her first glimpse was shared. In a recent interview, Alia’s father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, showered his granddaughter with praise, stating that Raha is even more magnificent than both Alia and Ranbir combined. He fondly recounted his discussions with Amitabh Bachchan about the joys of becoming a grandparent.
Mahesh Bhatt’s Fond Words for Raha
Mahesh Bhatt shared his special bond with Raha, expressing his awe at Alia’s ability to balance her successful career with motherhood. He shared, “Your best creation is not your cinema work, it’s Raha.” He further elaborated on Raha’s captivating presence, telling Ranbir and Alia, “You and Alia combined don’t have the magnificence of this child.” He highlighted her vibrant energy and sharp intellect, noting, “Every generation is superior to the previous one. She’s very smart, very bright, very intelligent. I keep observing her. We have a unique relationship.”
Lessons on Grandparenthood from Amitabh Bachchan
Bhatt also recalled a poignant conversation with Amitabh Bachchan about the transition to grandparenthood. Bachchan shared his perspective: “When you become a grandparent, it takes a while to realise that life is giving you another chance.” Bhatt echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the emotions of becoming a grandfather are universal, regardless of one’s profession. He mentioned that while Soni Razdan, his wife, shares a closer bond with Raha due to more time spent together, he cherishes their own unique relationship.
